Virginia was a kind soul, excellent artist, and art teacher. I loved her classes and her stories that she told. She will always have a special place in my heart. - (Irish) Patti Browne

Dear Donna,
Aunt Virginia was a very special person to everyone. She make everyone feel loved and accepted. She had such insight to others feelings, she looked into everyone's soul and found that special something. I have many happy memories of her. I wasn't a blood niece but you would never know it by the way she treated me and loved me in her own special way. She will be missed by many.
Love,
Shirley

Many Great memories because my parents always enjoyed visiting at their home, and they always visited with us on all holidays and many other times while Grandma was living with us. Those memories are shared by the Family.
The one Special connection for just me and Aunt Virginia occurred when I was very young and they still lived in Canaryville. I walked in their backyard one day and Aunt Virginia had all these Tomato Plants, with all these Beautiful Red tomatoes. I ate Tomatoes like others ate ice cream or candy. Aunt Virginia was very, very observant and she knew I loved tomatoes. So she said I could pick any plant and I would get ALL the tomatoes that plant produced. Aunt Virginia spent a life, instantly knowing then remembering the Special Activity or Food that friend or family liked, and so the next time you visited that is what she would do for you or prepare for you. I bet all of us felt like we were the only Special ones, because that was her way, to make us feel Special.
Thank You,
Love,
Michael
